I am in the process of finding the lucky contractors that won this bid so I can determine how many unemployed people were put back to work. I did see the work crews on several occassions but they all looked like they were wearing NPS uniforms which makes me wonder.

With an enormous debt crises in this country I just dont understand the importance that Vice President Joe Biden, President Barack Obama and the rest of our illustrious leadership has put on paving roads in a battlefield area. The roads, by the way, prior to the resurfacing were no where as bad as the condition of bridges and main roads in towns around the country with their massive potholes. THIS WAS NOT NECESSARY.

I do hope to find out that this job put people BACK TO WORK! I doubt I will find this out though.

With regards to the road in the battlefield… The federal government will xfer money for road construction to a state, but they do not specify which projects it gets spent on. Your battle field road example is not a President Obama or VP Biden issue, it is a Governor of that state issue. The federal government has done the right thing, and helped the nation rebuild it’s infrastructure, but that governor has simply wasted the money. Find a way to get rid of that governor.
